[Intro] C F x2 [Verse 1]
C                              F
The cold wind made your cheeks glow

                          C
Shivering away under your coat

                          F
Berlin was all covered in snow

                                C
All I could offer was a hand to hold

C                                F
So we made our way to the memorial

                               C
You traced your hand along the wall

                          F
When they put on the video

                 Am         G     C
I felt your hand tighten... in... mine
Am G C [Verse 2]
C                                F
Oh, to be lost in an Alzheimer's fog

                                     C
Like the grandfather I lost before I lost

                             F
Raise the root but spare the tree

                      C
And cut you out of my memory

                              F
Leave my world just black and white

                          C
Snatch the sun out of the sky

                          F
For the only colour in my life

              Am    G          C
Is the memory of... you... and I
Am G [Verse 3]
C                                   F
  Oh, for every crime that I commit

                                    C
Is there not a punishment to fit?

                                    F
I'm sorry is an endless corridor

                              C
Where behind each every, open door

C                          F
All my doubts, my fear, my sin

                      C
I don't know how to begin

                                        F
It's a maze within a maze, without, within

                         C
My mind, my mind, my labyrinth
Am G C [Chorus]
Am  G        C
  I can't forget you

  Am  G       C
I try all the time

Am  G        C
  I can't forget you

   Am             G       C     F  C  
Berlin, with your hand in mine
[Verse 4]
C                                  F
So happy is the blameless vestal's love

                                      C
The world forgetting, by the world forgot

                                  F
Is it eternal sunshine or endless dark?

                                     C
Or just a branch left hanging by the bark?

                                F
Maybe there are victories and defeats

                                     C
That slip through the cracks of history

                                  F
We're just two little people in a sea

                                     C
But know that it meant everything to me
Am G C [Chorus]
Am  G        C
  I can't forget you

  Am  G       C
I try all the time

Am  G        C
  I can't forget you

   Am             G       C     F  C  F  C
Berlin, with your hand in mine
[Verse 5]
                               F
The cold wind made your cheeks glow

                                C
Shivering away under your coat

                                F
Berlin was all covered in snow

                                C
All I could offer was a hand to hold

                                    F
So we made our way to the memorial

                                    C
You traced your hand along the wall

                           F

                 Am         G     F
I felt your hand tighten... in... mine

         Am     G     F
You were always on my mind
[Chorus]
Am  G        F
  I can't forget you

  Am  G       F
I try all the time

Am  G        F
  I can't forget you

   Am             G       C
Berlin, with your hand in mine
